Periodic orbits of period 3 in the disc

چکیده
Let f be an orientation preserving homeomorphism of the disc D which possesses a periodic point of period 3. Then either f is isotopic, relative the periodic orbit, to a homeomorphism g which is conjugate to a rotation by 2π/3 or 4π/3, or J has a periodic point of least period n for each n ∈ N∗.

Three-periodic orbits on hyperbolic plane
Consider what is called the classical (Birkhoff) billiard problem: a particle moves in the planar convex domain D along the straight lines interacting with the boundary ∂D according to the Fermat’s law“ angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence”. In mathematical physics it is important to understand how many periodic orbits can be present in a planar billiard. Periodic orbits are t...
متن کاملBoxy/peanut “bulges”: comparing the structure of galaxies with the underlying families of periodic orbits
The vertical profiles of disc galaxies are built by the material trapped around stable periodic orbits, which form their “skeletons”. According to this, the knowledge of the stability of the main families of periodic orbits in appropriate 3D models, can predict possible morphologies for edge-on disc galaxies. In a pilot survey we compare the orbital structures which lead to the appearance of “p...
متن کاملOn Periodic Orbits in Discrete-time Cascade Systems
Question. Does system (1.1) have periodic orbits when system (1.2) has periodic orbits? Recently, there have been a lot of researches in the literature on the periodicity of discrete-time dynamical systems [1, 3–8, 10, 11]. However, to the authors’ knowledge the above question has not received investigations, therefore in this paper we study the above question and obtain a fundamental result. O...
متن کاملCombinatorial Properties of Billiards on an Equilateral Triangle
We explore periodic orbits on an equilateral triangular billiard table. We prove that there is exactly one periodic orbit with odd period. For any positive integer n, there exist P d|n μ(d)P ¡ n d ¢ periodic orbits of period 2n, where μ(d) is the Möbius transformation function and P (n) = bn+2 2 c− bn+2 3 c. We count periodic orbits by introducing a new type of integer partition.
متن کاملA Canonical Partition of the Periodic Orbits of Chaotic Maps
We show that the periodic orbits of an area-contracting horseshoe map can be partitioned into subsets of orbits of minimum period k, 2k, 4k, 8k, ..., for some positive integer k. This partition is natural in the following sense: for any parametrized area-contracting map which forms a horseshoe, the orbits in one subset of the partition are contained in a single component of orbits in the full p...
